Top 5 Time Management Skills

Good time management skills can help students increase their grades and improve their overall college work performance. By learning to complete assignments on time every time, students will have a better classroom experience. Discover which tips are right for you.

1________________

Do you find yourself rushing to complete your homework assignment at the last momemnt? The root of this common problem may be time management. Some easy exercises may help you identify the tasks or habits that take time away from you and help you develop more healthy homework habits.

2________________
“The assignment is due when? Tomorrow?”
Somehow, that assignment due date just slipped right up on us without our noticing.
That is why organizational skills are so important to college performance. Who can afford to score a big fat "0" on a paper just because we got lazy and didn't pay attention to the due date?
Then how about putting in down?

3 ___________
If you have a Yahoo! account or another email system, you can use the free calendar feature to organize your homework. You will be able to enter each assignment as you receive it, make notes, and receive reminders as each due date approaches.

4 _________
Postponing a task is like telling ourselves a little white lie. We think we'll feel better if we do something fun, like watch a TV show, instead of studying or reading. But when we give in to the urge we always feel worse in the long run, not better.

5___________
If you're like many students, you sometimes have trouble getting started on a project, because the end result seems so far away and impossible to reach. Sometimes when you start out with an idea and a blank sheet of paper and look into the future, all you see is lots and lots of unfinished research, reading, planning, and work. Next time try starting at the end and moving step by step to the beginning!

Read the text below. For questions (6–10) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

Britain’s Dream Jobs That You Could Actually Do

Have you ever given a thought to who provides the gravelly-toned voice on movie trailers - or who creates the sound effects on computer games or talks on radio and TV ads? Voice-over artists are paid to bring a script to life with their voice. Some voice-over artists come from a drama background, but qualifications aren't necessary. Try approaching agencies who can help you put together a professional demo and offer coaching and courses. Once you've got your reel, the next step is to approach TV production companies and radio stations for ad work.

Do your friends always turn to you for help on matters of the heart? Become a professional agony aunt and you can share your wisdom with the world. The best known agony aunts write columns for newspapers and magazines and answer reader questions online. As a professional agony aunt, most publications would expect you to be “qualified” to give advice – which might mean having a degree in psychology, being a trained psychotherapist, or having a background as a counselor. Having writing experience may help you to find paid work in the future.

Being paid to eat chocolate for living rates pretty highly on the 'dream jobs list' for many. Nearly every company in the food industry employs tasters who check product quality and work on developing new products – testing everything from fish pie to fudge. If you're lucky enough to land a role as a food technologist at a company (a degree in food science and technology is generally required), you could find yourself working within the new product development team devising recipes, inputting on the design of the final decoration, and of course, tasting the new chocolate creations.

You might not be lucky enough to own a Ferrari – but what about a job test driving them? Test drivers work with the company's engineers to test the entire vehicle from front bumper to rear bumper, making sure everything works exactly as it should. Although not a prerequisite, a background in mechanics or mechanical engineering is likely to give you an advantage. You'll also need exceptional driving abilities – speeding round a race track at more than 200mph requires training and skill, not least nerve. As you might imagine, competition is fierce.

You may never be a star, but it's easier than you might think to become a film extra. Extras are required to appear on TV dramas, commercials and music videos, as well as blockbuster movies – who knows, you could find yourself stood next to Johnny Depp one day. You don't need supermodel looks – people of all ages and sizes are required – and acting experience isn't necessary, though you will need a professional attitude and be able to take direction.

6.What is TRUE of voice-over artists according to paragraph 1?

10.What is the main requirement for those who want to work as film extras?

Read the texts below. Match choices (A–H) to (11–16). There are two choices you do not need to use.

11.Cinda Wood

I really love working with flowers and also have loved learning Photoshop CS2 and InDesign. My first book was created just for florists, with a CD for their web sites' images. Most people do not realize that 95% of all images online for florists belong to wire services and so the book filled a niche. I now have been creating floral cookbooks for people who are not florists with simple instructions to help the beginner.

12.Donna Hardyman

I am trying to learn as much as I can about the fauna. I love writing about my dogs, be it training, or the unconditional love they give. I am also exploring the dream of selling everything I own, packing up the dogs and seeing the US in a recreational vehicle. Any suggestions to sites, forums, etc that will help me fulfill my dream of travelling with my dogs will be appreciated!

13.Alex Mayer

I absolutely adore horseback riding. I own three horses here in the UK. A stallion named “Perseus” who is insane and I think that's why I prefer to ride him and a new stallion named “Disraeli”. He's even a bit more crazy than the other. It's always a fight of wills and I love the fight. The other is a mare named “Seripho” who is an absolute sweetheart. Besides riding, I play tennis and just started taking boxing lessons; it's a killer workout.

14.Jerry E Spencer

I have travelled all over the world and have seen a lot of things in my life, and I have loved all of it. I am a people person, I like talking with people from all over the world. My wife says that I talk more than ten women put together. I would like to help as many people as I can with my writing. I feel if I can help you out with something, then I have done some good out here in this world. And that is a good feeling.

15.Tim Bennett

Although I am English I have been living in the Philippines for the last 10 years and contrary to what you may have heard about all the bad things in the Philippines it is a wonderful country with loads of opportunities. I believe very heavily in taking action rather than just talking about things and my programs are based around weaving the principles of wealth into our lives rather than living superficially. If you would like to be part of my team in any way or if you would like any help you can contact me anytime.

16.Mike Bova

I am an Advertising Director and Business Columnist for a chain of newspapers in the Fingerlakes Region. I also own The Upstate New York Shopping And Business Directory. Please feel free to email me whether you are into business or not. Networking is a very good thing! Let's talk about whatever....

Most people do not realize that 95% of all images online for florists belong to wire services and so the book filled a niche. I now have been creating floral cookbooks for people who are not florists with simple instructions to help the beginner.

I am trying to learn as much as I can about the fauna. I love writing about my dogs, be it training, or the unconditional love they give. I am also exploring the dream of selling everything I own, packing up the dogs and seeing the US in a recreational vehicle. Any suggestions to sites, forums, etc that will help me fulfill my dream of travelling with my dogs will be appreciated!

I absolutely adore horseback riding. I own three horses here in the UK. A stallion named “Perseus” who is insane and I think that's why I prefer to ride him and a new stallion named “Disraeli”. He's even a bit more crazy than the other. It's always a fight of wills and I love the fight. The other is a mare named “Seripho” who is an absolute sweetheart. Besides riding, I play tennis and just started taking boxing lessons; it's a killer workout.

14.Jerry E Spencer

I have travelled all over the world and have seen a lot of things in my life, and I have loved all of it. I am a people person, I like talking with people from all over the world. My wife says that I talk more than ten women put together. I would like to help as many people as I can with my writing. I feel if I can help you out with something, then I have done some good out here in this world. And that is a good feeling.

Although I am English I have been living in the Philippines for the last 10 years and contrary to what you may have heard about all the bad things in the Philippines it is a wonderful country with loads of opportunities. I believe very heavily in taking action rather than just talking about things and my programs are based around weaving the principles of wealth into our lives rather than living superficially. If you would like to be part of my team in any way or if you would like any help you can contact me anytime.

Paul gave me an odd look. “It's a...” he began.

“I know it's a pig,” I sighed. “But what's it doing here?”

“She's our new pet,” he proudly (25)______. I put my pork pie down guiltily. “The farmers down the road didn't want her, and were going to send her to the slaughter-house, so I (26) _________ her,” he explained.

We'd just moved into our house, were in the middle of (27) ___, and we already had a cat. There was no way we could have a pig running around the place.
